> My photo gallery of the Central Library - > > http://www.parrikar.org/images/CentralLibrary/index.html Thanks for these photographs of one of my favourite haunts in Panjim. A lovely library, it has everything -- a cosy building, great ambience, courteous and helpful staff, and finally, an excellent selection of books, catering to a wide variety of tastes from the heavy-duty highbrow to detective stories to pulp fiction to even the stray Mills & Boon. It has been particularly nice for me, because when one is Panjim, and has time to kill between appointments, it is a great place to hang around. For those who don't have office space in Panjim, but need to hang be there at least some time a week, it is a haven. One can spend anywhere from half an hour to the whole day pleasantly occupied. And they have more than enough books and new material coming in that it has taken care of most of our family reading needs for many years now. Had been hearing rumours that it would be shifting, and it seemed a disastrous thing. Still does. What are the reasons they are shifting, have they done a study justifying the move in terms of space requirements or anything else? If they have to go, the suggestion that this section of the building be continued in its present function as an annexe is one possibility. But let us explore whether we can stop them shifting at all, if there is no satisfactory reason for doing so. Great success with the petition on Panjim! -- Question everything -- Karl Marx
